How did you tell your Friends/Family you were BFP?

Just curious how you told your friends and family that you were having a baby??  I have looked around but havent found anything that I REALLY liked.  Any suggestions and at what point did you tell them?  Did you wait til 12 weeks or as soon as you went to the DR?

Thanks for all of your help!!

I didn't get the chance sense my husband was so excited, he spilled it to almost everyone. I still have not said anything to Facebook friends, I was just going to wait till I am at least 12 weeks.

Oh I am sooo sorry you didn't get to share any of the good news YET!!  How far along are you?

I am 7 weeks. This is number 3 though. We did not get a very good reaction from his family... After all the criticism, I was like, well thanks for the congrats! There are also all the people I don't want to tell because that criticism. Then there are the "Why would you even let that happen after you lost all that weight" people. I have had an earful.

I have had several miscarriages and I do not handle them well. In fact I was pretty sure that if we lost Tristan (thank god we didn't) they'd have to put me in a nut ward. So... people pretty much find out right away, b/c I figure it doesn't matter sense I'm going to me messed up if i loose it again. That said, I didn't plan on telling anyone at work, but they kinda figured it out when I wouldn't go home and was throwing up all of the time.

I send my family a picture message of Tristan this time that said "i'm gonna be a big brother!"

I can definitely understand your precaution also.  My sister miscarried with her first pregnancy and then we were blessed with my heart Ava.  We are trying to wait but the wait is killing me and him too but we have our first US Tues and as long as everything is ok, we are gonna play it by ear from there.  I was just wondering b/c I know there are SOOOOO many creative ppl that have some VERY original ideas and I was just curious to hear what they had to say.  Congrats on your 2nd addition, as well as lil Tristan too lol.  Thank you for the honesty as i cant even imagine the hurt and loss that comes with a miscarriage.  Best wishes on a smooth pregnancy and smooth delivery as well!!

We had three losses before this pregnancy. With the second one we at told all the family after we saw the heartbeat for the first time at 6 1/2 weeks. Then at 9 weeks the baby was longer living. It was devestating but then we had to tell all our family and friends.

This time, we waited until 13 weeks and we told our immediate family (parents, siblings, and sisters all called them on the day we were out). The pregnancy announcement with a picture of an ultrasound went out to all family members and friends that same week.
 

Aww I am sooo happy you are being blessed with a precious lil one after all your heartbreak.  I am prepared to wait if need be but the wait is killing us too lol  Thank you for the honesty and best wishes on a smooth delivery.

We waited until I was 17 weeks (wanted to get the quad screen results) before we told. I let my husband tell his family and I told mine. I don't know what he said (may not want to know). I just called each one of mine and real casual like I'd say "so how are things going, how are you, what's new, etc" Then I'd wait for them to say "what's new with you?" And then I'd casually say "we're going to have a baby". The reactions were pretty funny. Usually a long pause then a scream or some other excited exclamation.

Good luck!

We told our family right away, but swore them to secrecy until we were ready which was after 12 weeks. I love the way I told my mom and brother. We were out to eat and our family loved to play scrabble...so I spelled out "you are going to be a grandma" on a travel scrabble board and pulled it out during dinner. I told my mom that my husband and I were playing around and she had to see the words we came up with. The look on her face was priceless...5 years of trying to get pg. Good luck and have fun with it!
